for the child ho left him on a small plain at the bottom with strict injunc tions not to stir from it till hi return scarcely however had he gained the summit when the horizon was dark ened by one of those impenetrable mists which frequently descend so rapidly amidst these mountains as in the space of a few minutes almost to turn day to night the anxious father instantly hasten ed back to find his child but to hia own intrepidation unfortunately miss ed his way in the descent after a fruitless search for many hoars he dis covered that he had reached the bot tom of the valley and was near his own cottage to rpnew the search that night wad equally fruitless and dangerous h was therefore compelled to go home although he had loat both his chiid and his dog who had attend ed him faithfully so many vears next morning by break of day the shepherd accompanied by a band of his neighbors set out in search of his child but after a day spent in fruitless fatigue he was at last compelled to descend from the mountains on his returning home he found that his dog which he had lost the day before hud been home and on receiving a piece of cake had gone off again for several successive days the shepherd re newed his search for his child and still on returning home disappointed in the evening he found that the dog had been home ar.d on receiving hia usual allowance of cake had instantly disappeared struck with these singu lar circumstances he remained at home one dav and when the dog as usual departed with hi3 usual piece of cake he resolved to follow him and find out the procedure the dog led th way to a cataract at some distance from the snot where the shepherd had left hi cliild the banks of the cataract al a;oot joined at ths top yet separated by an abyss cf immenae depth present ed that appearance which o often astonishes aud appalls tba travellers that frequent the grampian mountains down one of thoaa ragged and al tugst perpendicular descents tb dog began without hesitation to make hia way at last disappeared by entering a cave the mouth of which ia almost level with the torrent the shepherd with difficulty followed but on euter iug the cave wlmt were his emotions when he beheld his loy eating with much satisfaction the cake which th dog hud just brought hiia while the faithful auimu stood by eyeiug hi young charge with the utmost coiu plu.wi.nee from the situation in which the child wa found it appeared that ho had wandered to the brink of the prescipice aud then either fallen or scrambled down till he reached the cave the dog by means of his scent had traced him to the spot uud after wards prevented him from starving by giving up to him his own daily allow ance.-ov y ledger what ii a model wife a model wife is the woman iu whom the heart of her husband doth safely trust she is the woman who looks afier his household and makes her hospi tality a delight to hitti aud not a bur den who has learned that u soft answer will turn away wrath who keeps her sweetest smiles aud most loving words for her husband who is his confidant in sorrow or jov and who does not feel the necessi ty of explaining her private affairs to the neighborhood who respects the rights of her bus baud aud children and iu turn has due respect paid to her who knows that the strongest ar gument is her womanliness uud so ale cultivates it who is sympathetic in joy or in grief aud who finds work for her hands to do who makes friends and keeps them who tries to conceal the faults of i her husband rather than blazon them forth to an uninterested public who makes a home for a man a j home in a house and in a heart a : home lhat he is sure of a home that is !
